New beta android app (game)

The_B_Man

I have this working again today on my HTC Desire.
I logged into Latitude and it seemed to work afterwards.

The game has really taken off in Finland. My location is infested with zombies right now. I've reached Brrraaaaaaiinnns (sp?) status and have infected about 17 humans. Some of them were a bit difficult as my location changed temporarily.

Good work Black Knight

No improvement after update, still waiting on location

//scratch that, got location after about 10secs

Do you only level up once you get infected and start infecting others?

Haha!

I hope Limerick stays clean for another three weeks, then I'll let hell break loose on it!

how about tracking some way to know which zombies that are the ones you infect and get experience for your minions infecting others. could have infighting with zombies from one area taking over another area. Eventually uninfected will be hard to come by. I was the First Zombie in Michigan but live in a rural area but I did infect someone on express way and then they went into detroit area and infected someone so my infection grows.

I am also keeping one person uninfected as our area's token human.

This system would be good for a vampire/werewolves/monster hunter game. let people choose what they want to be and then they have to fight it out. vampires weak during day, werewolves able to hide among humans unless full moon or if they are fighting something. Monster hunter fighting everyone. Could throw in zombies just because everyone likes zombie's.

Your already dead what? :P

@theblacknight
I seem to be slow at levelling up to level 7. I've infected at least 5, maybe 6, since I reached level 6. Should this be?

I think you'll find the term is 'undead'

Would it be possible to create an "exclusion zone" for when an area is fortified. It means that you can move out and then go back into it for as long as it lasts (7 days I think?). It means people can be safe in their own homes at night so they cant be attacked. Perhaps, linked in with this is, you can stay in other fortified areas by people too?

Just a thought!

Was down in Athlone last night and managed to stay clean.

Nothing happening up here in Donegal at all. Need to get more people playing it somehow.

Ok so I've pretty much decided on where I'm going to go from here... and it will probably involve a reset for accounts... so there will be lots of fresh meat. It will probably be a couple of weeks (have a few days off work soon) in the making though, so I doubt there will be many updates to the current version. There will be no more straight infecting people, zombies will need to work a little harder, and I hope to introduce a new class of survivor (you will have to work for that one too). Fortified/inactive users will be hidden from the map. I'm also going to be a little more restrictive – going to do away with identifiers because of the amount of confusion (look at the latest review in the android market), and store encrypted IMEI numbers – which will identify devices and also stop users from creating multiple accounts on one device. There will also be some single player challenges, collecting weapons caches from your map, escaping zombie dogs, speed infefcting etc.. which will all count towards the main game. Also want in app messaging and notifications. Will take a little time to get these all done, will roll out new features incrementally. Thanks for all the support!

I love you

TFK

Sounds good to me theblacknight!

Mars Bar

Sounds excellent Blacknight!

Just had me some Waterford brains, damn tasty they were

TFK

I need to get more people in my area playing, or get infected, all the infected people seem to be having fun LOL

Kells...

Lol signed up and I'm still not infected

Mars Bar

I let rip on limerick city! Only one guy evaded me having fortified himself. Have another guy in line near ennis now...

longshanks

There are a couple of survivors here in Waterford who have fortified themselves also. How does it work, once fortified do they remain that way indefinitely?

I think they do in that spot but if enough zombies attack them in that area together, they can get infected. I think.

Thats right. Will be changing that soon though (its a little unfair). In the new version survivors will have to cellect supplies to build fortification, which zombies can attack .. so if you want to stay safe you will need to make sure your safe houses are at 100%.
